Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Yakumo Ran's tone became eerie, as if a graceful woman was whispering in the ears of the three girls in the gentlest and most seductive voice. Such charm even transcended gender, making the three girls unable to resist it at all.

“Come here, Fran, come to Patchouli and the imp. Remember, this is how you greet Momo from now on…”

……

"This welcoming ceremony is really unique."

Mo Mo looked at the three girls in the hall and let out a sincere sigh. He had just been wondering why no one was stopping him from entering the Scarlet Devil Mansion anymore. Now, it seemed the fourth, fifth, and sixth bosses were planning to attack together?

But looking at Fran sitting on the stall with a bright smile, and at Patchouli and the little devil nestled beside her, who were clearly fast asleep, and at Fran's gentle gesture of stroking their little heads, this didn't seem like the appearance of three bosses coming out together to welcome Momo.

"Ah, good evening, big brother, welcome to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I am Flandre Scarlet, the head of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I should be giving you a proper welcome, but my friends are all asleep. Could you please not disturb them?"

"Also, I'm sorry, all my maids have disappeared, my sister is in a deep sleep, and all the people I can trust have vanished. My last two companions are also exhausted. So, I can't entertain you myself, big brother. Please make yourself at home."

"As for dinner... can you cook it yourself, big brother?"

Fran rattled off a long string of words, behaving like a hospitable, innocent little girl. However, Mo Mo, who knew Fran's nature and how dangerous she was, remained unmoved. Not to mention that Fran herself was extremely dangerous, although Fran Dorothy looked normal at the moment, her dull, gray eyes clearly indicated that she was not currently conscious.

Is this another of Yakumo Ran's tricks?

"Awakening, love."

Momo softly called out the names of Komeiji Satori and Komeiji Ren. The two sisters, hand in hand, stepped forward from Momo's side, their expressions serious as they looked at Flandre, who was beaming with a bright smile. Seeing this, Flandre's interest grew even stronger. "Ah, Ren and Satori, you've come to visit too? Welcome! I'm so happy! But, but Flandre can't leave my friends, because they're so tired."

"Also, please don't come near me, or you'll disturb my friend's sleep."

Fran greeted the Komeiji sisters warmly, but the two sisters did not respond. After exchanging a glance, they turned to look at Momo. Then Komeiji said, "She's been controlled. It's Yakumo Ran's doing."

"Seduction?"

Komeiji Satoru nodded and said, "Yes, the power of charm. It's different from our power. We are more about reading minds and understanding everything. Changing and controlling are secondary. But Yakumo Ran's charm power is designed for control from the very beginning, like the instinct of a predator."

Hearing this, Mo Mo's heart sank, and he asked, "Can't you undo it?"

Komeiji Satoru slowly shook his head and said, "Our abilities are similar to Yakumo Ran's abilities; they are both innate abilities that are close to instinct. Although our abilities are more specialized, Yakumo Ran's level is higher than ours, and her demonic power is stronger."

"And then..."

Komeiji Satoru approached Momo, leaned close, and began to whisper to him, "Fran is clearly under control. She's currently targeting Patchouli and Little Devil, which is extremely dangerous. You know Fran's abilities. Although Ren and I can try to break through Yakumo Ran's charm control together, we can't guarantee that we can control Fran immediately."

"If you accidentally let her activate her power... you don't want Patchouli and the little devil to turn into headless monsters, do you?"

A flash of anger crossed Mo Mo's face; he now understood everything. Yakumo Ran, as expected of a youkai who had served Yakumo Yukari for so many years, was indeed meticulous in her actions, considering all possibilities.

"So we can conclude that this is a trap?"

"trap?"

Komeiji Satoru asked with some confusion, "It was clearly Yakumo Ran who controlled Flandre and then used Patchouli and the little devil's lives to strengthen this control, in order to threaten Momo's side and prevent them from making any rash moves. How did it suddenly become a trap?"

This should be a scene of hostage situation and police confrontation, right?

Ah... could it be!

Komeiji Satoru's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood. She quickly reached out and grabbed Momo's hand, saying, "No, Master... Momo, you can't take the risk. Fran's ability is too dangerous!"

Flandre's ability truly deserves the word "danger"; her ability is capable of destroying things.

Everything has a purpose, and this purpose is like the point of connection between things or matter. Once this point of connection is destroyed, the thing or matter collapses. Flandre's ability is to see the existence of purpose, and then easily destroy the purpose, thereby destroying things or matter.

Faced with such an ability, even the most powerful youkai in Gensokyo would keep their distance, because it is an unreasonable ability to instantly kill. It is only natural that Komeiji Satoru is worried about this.

Unfortunately, Komeiji Satoru's worries were ignored by Momo's smile. He said to Flandre, "Flandre, no one else can get close to you, but I should be able to. I have a feeling that I am a person who enjoys special privileges."

Before Komeiji could stop Momo from speaking, Flandre in the distance gave an answer without hesitation.

"Okay!"

"Big brother, come and hug Fran! Fran really likes big brother's smile!"

192 A Sweet Embrace

"Mo Mo, you can't go there!"

Komeiji Satoru quickly grabbed Momo. Now she understood the meaning behind Momo's words and knew what kind of danger Momo would encounter if he really went over.

Clearly, Ran Yakumo's actions weren't solely aimed at hindering Momo's plans. She seduced Flandre, but her target wasn't Flandre; rather, it was Momo, who was about to enter the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She intended to use Patchouli and Imp's lives to threaten Momo.

Momo either ignores the lives of these two people and the bewitched Flandre, or he must find a way to break out of this trap and rescue Flandre.

"Mo Mo, you don't need to pay any attention to them. This is the first time you've met, isn't it? Even if... even if you have feelings for them, you shouldn't be so reckless with your life! Even if not for yourself, you should think about Lian... and us!"

Momo noticed Komeiji Satori's anxious expression, which brought a warm smile to her face. Komeiji Satori no longer referred to herself as a servant in front of Momo, as she had already accepted Momo's suggestion.

Although what happened before could not possibly be simply glossed over with a few words as the two of them claimed, at least for now, Komeiji Satoru genuinely believed that she and Momo were on the same side and had begun to consider Momo's feelings. This was enough to satisfy Momo.

"Don't worry, Jue. Although I tend to soften when I'm around cute girls, like I said, I'm also someone who has clear principles. Now that I have you guys behind me, I definitely won't be so impulsive anymore."

“Besides, even a clay figure has a temper,” Mo Mo’s smile remained, but a chilling coldness crept into it as he said, “My kindness, gentleness, and tolerance towards girls are my own business. But so many things have happened where they’ve used my concern to scheme against me. My patience has its limits.”

"It's time to teach some guys a lesson, otherwise, those few who think they bear a huge responsibility and can't do without them will probably continue to act recklessly without any bottom line."

"Incompetence is incompetence. Since they are incompetent, they should obediently step aside and watch when capable people step forward. Otherwise, what difference is there between them and the enemies who destroyed Gensokyo?"

Mo Mo's pointed words stunned Komeiji Satoru, a chill spreading through her. She knew very well that Mo Mo's words would also be heard by Yakumo Ran, and perhaps even Yakumo Yukari. The fact that Mo Mo still acted this way meant that Mo Mo had truly made a decision.

The decision to engage in full-scale confrontation... or even full-scale war.

This is a war between Momo and Yakumo Yukari. Momo can no longer stand the clumsy methods and unscrupulous tactics of Yakumo Yukari's side, and decides to take over everything by himself. Since Momo has made this decision, there is no turning back for either of them.

"Mo Mo..."

Komeiji knew that Momo was beyond her ability to persuade at this point. She could only remind Momo, "No matter what, you still have to be careful of her abilities and avoid getting involved with her."

"Don't worry, Fran's ability is physical destruction, not conceptual destruction. So, her ability won't have much effect on me. Of everyone here right now, I'm the only one who can accept Fran's embrace. As a gentleman, how can I refuse a cute little girl's request for a hug?"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Momo, Komeiji Satoru simply shut up. She now understood Momo's personality; some things were simply impossible to reason with. However, since she was no longer trying to persuade Momo, Momo had given her and Komeiji Komeiji something to do.

"Pay attention to the position of Yakumo Ran."

Komeiji Satoru and Komeiji Ren's expressions simultaneously turned serious. The fact that the two sisters couldn't resolve the current situation was itself a source of pressure. After all, Yakumo Ran had used a similar ability to theirs, and their inability to do anything about it had already angered the two sisters. Now that Momo had given them instructions, the two girls immediately unleashed their demonic power, preparing for a direct confrontation with Yakumo Ran.

Perhaps in terms of ability or demonic power, neither of the two sisters is a match for Yakumo Ran, but now that the two sisters are holding hands, with six eyes in total, how could they not be able to deal with Yakumo Ran?

The two sisters' abilities spread out invisibly. They dared not touch Flandre, fearing that it might affect her and endanger Momo. However, their combined abilities surrounded Momo and Flandre, preventing Yakumo Ran's abilities from further affecting Flandre.

Almost simultaneously, an almost invisible demonic power attempted to penetrate Flandre's body, but was detected by the two sisters. An invisible war began, centered around Momo and Flandre. Meanwhile, Momo and Flandre, positioned in the middle, remained oblivious to everything, sizing each other up.

"Big brother, aren't you afraid of me?"

Flandre blinked her bright eyes at Momo and said, "Everyone who sees me for the first time is afraid of me."

Seemingly due to the protective abilities of the Komeiji sisters, the chaos and emptiness in Flandre's eyes softened somewhat, but that was all. The Komeiji sisters could only stop Yakumo Ran from continuing to control Flandre, but they were powerless to change the orders Yakumo Ran had already given Flandre. For now, Flandre would still follow the orders Yakumo Ran had left behind, giving Momo a hug—a sweet yet deadly hug.

"Big brother isn't afraid of Fran. Fran is so cute and already a good child. The reason others are afraid of Fran is simply because they don't understand her. As long as Fran learns to control her abilities, she will definitely be a child that everyone likes."

Although Momo said this, he knew that Flandre's current state was more due to her mental issues than to problems controlling her abilities. And Flandre's mental problems were clearly not easy to solve; at least, her sister Remilia couldn't.

As expected, Momo still needs to step in. At worst, she can just stay with poor Flandre for another ten years. After that, she and Komeiji Ren will definitely become good friends, with lots of common topics to discuss.

After hearing Momo's words, Flandre tilted her head. Her intelligence was already questionable, let alone under the current control of Yakumo Ran. So, she simply ignored Momo's advice, grinning as she opened her arms to him, saying, "Big brother, hug me!"

That radiant smile was enough to melt the hearts of countless people, and Mo Mo seemed to have stopped guarding against Flandre and was tempted by her. He obediently opened his arms and embraced the petite loli.

Flandre's smile grew even brighter, as if she were radiating happiness. If Flandre only had this sweet smile, she would certainly not be feared by anyone. However, the Flandre in front of Mo Mo couldn't help but reach out her little hand and grab Mo Mo's back.

"Big brother... his eyes are very big and thick, Fran... Fran couldn't help but grab them..."

As soon as Flandre finished speaking, Momo, who had just been embracing her, suddenly froze. Then, countless cracks appeared on his body, multiplying until he was pulverized into the finest powder. Even the powder vanished; Momo simply shattered with a bang, disappearing without a trace before Flandre's eyes.

Flandre's bright smile remained unchanged, but her lifeless eyes now held an even more crazed quality. She giggled and said, "Big brother likes Flandre, but big brother has been ruined by Flandre too. Everyone who liked Flandre has disappeared, and no one likes Flandre anymore."

"So... so why don't you just disappear too, Fran?"

As she spoke, Flandre lowered her head to examine the hands that had just crushed Momo, and then seemed to be really examining her own body.

"Ah, I've figured it out. So Fran also has a purpose. Why didn't I notice it before? Fran has broken so many things. This time, she can finally try to see if she can break herself with a bang."

"Hmm, this seems quite interesting."

Flandre reached her hand towards her neck, where something only she could see existed. If she could grasp that eye, hold it in her hand, then with a bang, she would destroy everything.

"If Fran destroys herself too, she'll never have to be sad again, right?"

Just as Flandre's little face was getting more and more frantic, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Flandre's wrist. Flandre looked over in surprise, and the wrist seemed to grow wildly like a small grass, almost instantly sprouting the remaining parts of a human body to form a person.

Her older brother, Momo.

"Big brother!"

Flandre cried out in surprise and immediately threw herself into Mo Mo's arms, saying, "Big brother is still here! Did Flandre break you?"

"How could that be?" Mo Mo smiled, but his eyes passed through Flandre and saw a figure that had suddenly appeared. He said, "Your big brother is very powerful and not so easy to break. So, Flandre, come and play with your big brother to your heart's content."

"Really?"

"real."

"Really? Really? Really?"

"One thousand percent pure innocence!"

"Great!"

Flandre excitedly reached for Momo's eye again, this time placing it on his shoulder. Despite the different location, the result was the same: Momo was once again pulverized by Flandre's gentle grip.

This time, however, Flandre looked excitedly at the shimmering points of light around her, anticipating Momo's reappearance.

"interesting."

The person who suddenly appeared in Mo Mo's eyes earlier was Yakumo Ran. She was also radiating demonic power, and an invisible storm of demonic power surrounded Mo Mo and Flandre, causing them to fight against each other. The Komeiji sisters were ashen-faced. It turned out that they had underestimated Yakumo Ran.

Yakumo Ran could easily take on both of them by herself, and even dared to appear openly in Mo Mo's sight.

"Are you trying to provoke me? But this kind of self-harming provocation is ridiculous."

193 Grab my hand

Self-harm?

Mo Mo's calm voice came, but after saying just those three words, he was once again grabbed by Flandre and instantly shattered into the most basic quantum light.

Fortunately, quantum light, being something between energy and matter, obviously doesn't possess any inherent nature in a single beam. And even if it did, the size of any object on the almost invisible quantum light would be far beyond Flandre's comprehension. Therefore, Flandre's abilities were practically ineffective against Momer, who had transformed into light.
